Bug Frodo Webdav broken?
#1
Just wondering, is webdav broken or no longer supported?

I have been using Eden and webdav is working very well on my windows computer and an ipad.
Then as Nighty released I upgraded xbmc of my ipad, it was a little unstable but the major problem is webdav no longer working. Anyway I thought it'd be the Nighty.

Now with Frodo RC I upgraded on both PC and ipad, webdav is broken on both. It said "Cannot connect to network server". I am running IIS7.5 on Win7 SP1 x64, the log shown attempted connections like:

02:27:44 HEAD /movie/ client IP ommitted XBMC/12.0-RC1+Git:20121210-baaa51c+(Windows+NT+6.1;WOW64;Win64;x64;+http://www.xbmc.org) hostname ommitted
02:27:44 GET /movie/ client IP ommitted XBMC/12.0-RC1+Git:20121210-baaa51c+(Windows+NT+6.1;WOW64;Win64;x64;+http://www.xbmc.org) hostname ommitted

If I edit the source and changed the protocol from dav:// to http://, it will connect, but no content are listed.

Anyone has idea?

Thanks and sorry for my help-seeking first post

Hmm, I cannot get webdav to work either. I'm going to try some other webdav sources (the one I'm using, MediaMaster Server, can be touchy anyways), but it might indeed be broken right now.

Tested using AirSharing on my iPhone, which is basically a webdav server, and it worked great with Frodo.

I don't have a Windows box to test with to see what's going on with the Windows 7 webdav server, but maybe one of our Windows devs might find some time to troubleshoot.

I also have some problems with WEBDAV on my Qnap. I am able to connect and see my content, but I am not able to get library to update.
I have this problem on my RaspberryPi with Raspbmc and Frodo RC1. And also same problem on WinXP machine with Frodo RC1. However I dont have this problem on my Samsung Galaxy SIII, running Frodo Beta2.
I also did not have this issue when I used Eden, and also I have no problems with library updates using smb.

I'm still seeing the issue with the latest RC of Frodo. Entire set up works fine with Eden fwiw.

Hey,

I run XBMC from a raspberry pi aswell as a windows based PC, and I have the exact same issues as mentioned above. In Frodo XBMC RC2 both on windows and RPi, I can not add a dev:// address and connect to my webdev server. I test that it works perfectly from web browsers, aswell as XBMC Eden. Then if I uninstall Eden on my windows PC, and reinstall Frodo ontop (keeping folders setting etc) and try to connect to the previously working dev://my-domain/folder it just report that it can not connect.

Happening here too on Android and OSX 10.6. OSX issues happened on both the RC and on the latest nightly. Basic authentication or Windows Authentication, same problem occurs. I am able to browse to the IP both on my broadband connection and tethered to my mobile connection. In both cases, I can see the list of movies, but WebDAV will not authenticate.

Having the same problem.

ATV2 streaming content from MacBook using MediaMaster Server, connection is broken in Frodo. Switch back to Eden and it's fine.

Yes, WEBDAV seems to be broken since RC1. I hope the devs get this working again!

debug logs (wiki) and details (like what WebDAV server is being used) are needed for a fix.

Speaking of such, I've only experienced this myself with a WebDAV server called MediaMaster Server (wiki), but it has always been flakey as a WebDAV server. Others have said Frodo stopped working with the Windows 7 WebDAV server, but I do not have Windows to test with. My common WebDAV servers, mostly iOS ones, all work fine.

I'll get a debug log up for MediaMaster Server, but like I said, I've had it not work with other WebDAV clients too.

Playback works, but the library doesn't work at all. If you want to update (or create) the library, the status bar says for one second "preparing..." and then "compressing..." and then it's done.

What the log says:

The software is a lighttpd webserver with the webdav plugin, which works flawlessly with older XBMC versions. Again, playback works. But the library doesn't.

I'm willing to look into this but the problem is: I can't reproduce it. I myself use lighttp + webdav and I haven't been able to reproduce this issue. Can anyone provide any detailed steps on how they trigger the issue?
